Art Fund Curatorial Seminar at fig-2: In Pursuit of the Curatorial: Making Things Public
As part of the collaboration between ?g-2 and the Art Fund, ?g-2 is hosting eight public seminars conceptualised by Art Fund Curator Fato? Üstek.
The sixth of the eight part seminar series with the title ‘Making things Public’ will expand on the primary role of curating and on the notion of exhibition making in general. Discussing positions from established to semi established and informal institutions, the seminar will extrapolate Tony Bennett’s ‘The Birth of the Museum’.

To celebrate Open House London 2015 artist Hannah Clayden will be giving guided tours of the Pump House Gallery based on on-going research into the building’s history. Taking the origins of this grade I listed building as a starting point the tour is an opportunity to discuss the wider history of Battersea Park and its importance as a social space.
Using a traditional guided tour structure Clayden incorporates relayed anecdotes and ghost stories, whilst inviting the audience to intersect with memories and thoughts of their own.
Pump House Gallery Battersea Park London, England SW11 4NJ from 12noon – 4:00pm
An exchange of art materials.We all have paint, paper, or tubes that we bought for a project, used once and now the stuff is just taking up space in our tiny London flats and studios. We don’t want to throw those art materials out because they cost a fortune, yet we know that it’s unlikely that we will ever use the stuff again. So why not give it to a fellow artist? If the materials were too expensive to give away why not exchange them, or sell them for a modest fee. After all we are all in this together.
Tom’s Etching Studio Railway Arch 229, blenheim grove, SE154QL from 11:00am to 2:00pm
